Charlie Lovell-Jones debuted at a sold-out Royal Festival Hall aged 15. He has since soloed with major orchestras internationally, broadcasting on radio and television. As concertmaster of the mutli-award-winning Sinfonia of London (SoL) he has performed at the BBC Proms and recorded several CDs, garnering critical acclaim from Classic FM and Gramophone Magazine. He found success in several international competitions, including the Sendai 2019, Shanghai Isaac Stern 2020, and Joachim 2021 Competitions.
In 2020, Charlie graduated from Oxford University in 2020 with a Gibbs Prize in Music and received a Bicentenary Scholarship at the Royal Academy of Music on the spot, graduating in 2022 with the Strings Postgraduate Prize. Charlie studied for over ten years with Rodney Friend MBE, and now studies at the Yale School of Music with Augustin Hadelich. He won the Hattori Foundation, Harriet Cohen, John Fussell, Drake Calleja and Countess of Munster Trusts’ awards, and has enjoyed masterclasses with Ida Haendel, Anne-Sophie Mutter, Vadim Repin, Menahem Praessler, Pinchas Zukerman, James Ehnes, Leonidas Kavakos, Tai Murray, and most recently, Ida Kavafian at the Lincoln Center.
Charlie’s 2021-22 season featured multiple concerto performances, world premieres from Colin Matthews, Deborah Pritchard and Tod Machover, recitals nationally and internationally, his Wigmore Hall debut and, as a RAM Bicentenary Scholar, his debut album recording with Linn Records.
